Hatters Host Kennesaw State on Saturday

Stetson men's basketball inches closer to the end of the regular season when the Hatters host ASUN Conference foe Kennesaw State, 4 p.m., Saturday at Edmunds Center. The game will be streamed live on ESPN3.

The Hatters (11-18 overall, 3-8 ASUN) need a win to maintain their current hold on the No. 7 seed for the upcoming ASUN Tournament. Stetson, which leads eighth-place USC Upstate by one win for seventh, had a chance to move up in the standings on Thursday but suffered an 82-73 loss to Lipscomb despite a career-high 21 points from freshman Christiaan Jones.

Kennesaw State (10-17, 6-6) is trending upward and enters Saturday's game off of arguably the conference's most impressive of the season following its 97-93 win at FGCU on Thursday. James Scott and Nick Masterson each scored 27 points to lead the Owls.

Overall, Kennesaw has won four straight games and five of their last six. The Owls defeated Stetson, 95-81, on Jan. 18 in Kennesaw, Ga.
